The US government can send troops to fight in a war between two foreign countries. That's a pretty big political statement. Maybe some citizens support one country, and some support the other. Who gets to decide? I think the answer is pretty obvious that it's the elected representatives that get to make decisions. What flags to fly is one of the least consequential things a government does, so what makes it different?
